12 CDs, 14 hours, Unabridged, read by Gregory Maguire

Sadly, it was a mistake for Gregory Maguire to read his own work. He is somewhat hissy, requiring me to turn the treble way down. He is by turns stiff and overly dramatic. Character voices don't always stay the same and have strange accents that garble the words. I felt that it improved as the story went on, but I may have just gotten used to him. This was a difficult listen, although the story was strong enough, particularly in the second half, that I did manage to finish.
